Attack on Indian Embassy is the handiwork of enemy

The attack on Indian Embassy in Afghanistan is the handiwork of enemy and all fingers of suspicion being raised at Pakistan, though the Taliban has claimed responsibility of the attack to shield ISI. 15 months ago in July 2008, the Indian Embassy were also attacked in which casualties were five times high. This time 17 locals were killed in the attack on Indian Embassy by suicide bomber. No Indian officers and staff were killed in the attack and only three ITBP personnel sustained minor injuries. The US has propmtly condemned the attack on Indian Embassy and expressed solidarity with India in times of crisis. No damage was done to the Indian Embassy because it was fortified after the last year’s attack. The Indian presence in Afghanistan has been eye-sore to Pakistan and its notorious Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) plays pivotal role in executing suicide bomber attacks on Nato forces and Indian people engaged there in the developmental projects in Afghaniostan. Afghanistan is a very good friend of India and its President Karzai is working hard for strengthening democracy and crushing Taliban and Al-Qaeda elements to get the country free of the scourge of humanity. But Pakistan with the full backing of its military and ISI extends support to Taliban to resurface and regroup in Afghanistan, though it is itself riven with the violence in the country by Taliban. US president’s Af-Pak policy must be centred on the activities of Pakistan in Afghanistan. Pakistan is always on look-out for an opportunity to derail India in Afghanistan and because of that its notorious ISI contributes full time in planning and hatching conspiracies to create mayhem in through through Taliban. This must be understood by US. Because it is US on whose financial packages Pakistan is running. And finance is the most important factor in influencing any individual and the country. The US must ask Pakistan that it may stop financial packages if it continued to misuse it in organising terror attacks out of the country by the elements which are also bent on destroying its own existence. US does not get tough with Pakistan only because it always fears that if it tightens screw, Pak may slip into the waiting lap of China.As Afghanistan has strategic importance for India also, it can not sacrifice its own interest at any cost. That is why it is the third largest donor in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. India has pledged to donate 1.2 billion dollar in Afghanistan. It has great contribution in several developmental projects and infrastructure in the country. India must not desist out of attacks by Taliban at the behest of Pakistan. It only needs to beef the security of its citizens involved in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. India only keeps Pakistan under pressure of international community through vigorous diplomatic offensive.
